This is a very useful resource with starters on KS3 fraction topics: finding fraction of an amount, converting between fractions, decimals and percentages, equivalent fractions, mixed numbers, improper fractions and HCF/LCM. These are useful to introduce a topic or to act as ‘settlers’ to get pupils on task when they enter the classroom.

A handy set of starters to do with topics involved in KS3 Geometry: angles, volume of 3-D shapes, constructing angles, transformations, properties of shapes and angle laws. These are excellent to start a lesson off, as ‘settlers’ to get students on task and also to test prior knowledge of a topic.

An extremely useful set of KS3 starters on Probability and Handling Data. Topics covered include: basic probability, probability of an event, mean, median, mode and range, averages from a table and Pictograms. These are excellent to begin a lesson with or to check prior knowledge of a topic or as plenaries.

A comprehensive set of GCSE (foundation and higher) exam questions on relative frequency. Other topics covered include basic probability and scatter graphs. These could be used in a lesson or revision sessions and are also useful for students to take home and practice by themselves.

An excellent revision resource, this is a powerpoint of a set of exam questions on Quadratic Equations for GCSE Higher students. Topics covered include factorising, solving quadratic equations, the quadratic formula, completing the square, trial and improvement and algebraic fractions. All answers are included in the Powerpoint.

A really useful resource which is tests KS3 pupils on their understanding of mode, median, mean and range. This could also be used as a summative test of pupils’ knowledge or as a homework/revision task and is suitable for GCSE foundation students as well.

A worksheet which includes 10 questions each on percentage increase and decrease. This resource is mainly suitable for KS3 students, although it may also benefit GCSE Foundation students. As well as increasing or decreasing a number by a certain percentage, worded questions involving VAT are also included. This resource has multiple applications: it could be useful as a check of the prior knowledge of students or to check their understanding of what has been taught as a summative test or included as the main activity within a lesson.

In this highly interactive group task students are encouraged to move around the classroom to find a fellow student who can tell them the definition of one of the 16 words on their worksheet which all relate to the KS3 Maths syllabus (mode, equation, perimeter etc.). This task encourages mathematical discussion and for pupils to become familiar with terminology used on the course as well as promoting literacy and cross-curricular links. This could be used as a starter activity in the lesson to engage pupils or as part of a stand-alone revision lesson reinforcing pupils’ knowledge of key words used throughout KS3 Maths.

This is an excellent Powerpoint covering all the topics in Percentages at KS3 including converting between fractions, decimals and percentages, finding a percentage of an amount, the unitary method and percentage increase/decrease. Suitable for a revision session (exam practice), a summative test for students and to check and refresh their prior knowledge of percentages…

A Powerpoint including a full lesson or lessons covering Relative Frequency for KS3/GCSE Foundation Maths. The Powerpoint includes definitions of Relative Frequency and Theoretical Probabilities and guided examples of how to calculate them both. It also has questions on Relative Frequency including exam practice. Could be used as a full lesson or as part of a revision activity for pupils.

A Powerpoint for KS3 Maths pupils covering a full lesson or lessons on scatter graphs and correlation. Types of correlation (positive and negative), drawing scattergraphs and plotting and interpreting lines of best fit are all included within this resource as well as questions and extension activities. Could be used as a whole lesson to teach the topic to pupils or as a revision activity.

An extensive powerpoint featuring a selection of exam questions (and answers) for the KS3 Maths syllabus. Ideal for a revision lesson or as a test/assessment activity. Topics covered include: percentages, fractions, ratios, substitution, probability, area and volume of 2-D and 3-D shapes, factorising, substitution, expanding brackets, powers and indices, averages, angles and straight line graphs.
